What do I say? I don’t have the constant feeling of wanting to die anymore. So that’s an improvement. But I’m not really living either. Give me more drugs for that? I don’t know. Sht I don’t even know what I can hope for anymore. It’s the time of year where I think I’m going to be depressed no matter what I take, so why flood my body with chemicals that aren’t going to help anyway. I guess I’ll just tell her all of that. We’ll see what she thinks about my utterly negative attitude. And here’s a unhealthy dose of poor poor pitiful me to go along with it too. Maybe I do need an anti-depressant just not so high as to make me manic again. I can’t afford that sht.

I’m sure they’ll just ask you questions to determine how you are.

Be honest. @Leaf do you go to a therapist?

yes, I just started a new one, why?
Because a therapist is also a tool to use to help out. Maybe you could also talk to your therapists if you trust him/her.

Tell them that your depression is better, but not gone.

I will talk to her, but right now I just don’t know if I want a meds change or not. I have to leave in like 15 minutes. I’ve been thinking about this for over a week and I keep coming up with the same thing, I don’t even feel like the meds help with the depression. But I don’t know if that’s the depression talking or if that’s what I really think.
I always discuss my issues and then see if a med adjustment is needed. Sometimes you need a change other times you just need an increased dose. Just be honest to your psychiatrist.

I told her the truth about how I was feeling and she decided to increase my anti-psychotic, go figure. I do trust her though, so hopefully I’ll be feeling better soon.

That sounds like a win to me.
Several times I have gone into my monthly appt, don’t state properly how bad it is, nothing gets changed, and I beat myself up about it for a few weeks. It was like this for several months before I got a med change now I feel a lot better.
Good luck with the new dosage

Oh thank you very much. Yea it’s good that something is going to be different so I can have a chance at feeling better. I just get so sick of hearing myself say I don’t feel good.

I know exactly how you feel when you say you’re sick of yourself. I feel like an unwanted child that I’m stuck with.
